Summary: Awesome
Review: I like scooby Doo. This is one of the best i have ever seen. I rented this with my friend about a week ago, and loved it. I even watched it twice. (which i dont do oftenly)I cant wait to buy it now. This is a great movie for kids, and Scooby Doo lovers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good fun - not too scary for an 8 year old
Review: I liked the movie and so did my 8 year old daughter. It was clever, funny, and kept even my interest all the way through. And my daughter never said "yuck" once during Shaggy's love fantasy, and that's a first! One of the things I most appreciated about the movie was that the scary scenes were interspersed with quieter periods that easily held my daughter's interest - it was nice to see a kid's film that wasn't one frenetic chase or blow-'em-up scene after another. Art well done and nice music, too. We recommend it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Forgive me, I'm a purist.
Review: I simply cannot help but long for the old days. Is it just meor is Velma practically anexoric in this film? It's not very becomingthe way scooby and the gang have become so commercialized. Three yearsin a row now they've cranked out these for the most part poorlywritten, quickly pieced together, quick money, straight to videoflicks that were not very groovy, not very groovy at all. I gotta'like them, being scooby movies and all(I've seen everything withscooby, even the scrappy eps.... ugh...) Ah well, it has it'sredeeming qualities... minus the Shag and Scoob romance. What werethe writers thinking there? Well, it's becoming progressively sad butit is scooby and the gang so enjoy die hard fans, even if you gotta'overlook a lot of [stuff] it's scooby, it's classic. END

Summary: Best Scooby Doo DVD yet
Review: I think that was one of the best Scooby Doo video I've ever seen. It was extremely funny and had a lot of action.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not quite classic Scooby, but pretty good nonetheless...
Review: If I HAD to pick out one of the newer Scooby flicks to buy, I'd have to pick Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders. I really don't like the trend in the new Scooby movies in which the monsters are "real". (i.e. Witch's Ghost, Zombie Island, etc.) Part of what made Scooby-Doo kiddie fare (in my opinion) was the fact that the monsters, ghosts, werewolves, were never "real" and could always be explained. This is MOSTLY the case in Invaders. This movie... well... I don't want to reveal the end because that would spoil the surprise... but it's a good combination of the new and the old.

Ahem.

As a stand-alone cartoon, I probably would have rated it 4 stars. As a Scooby cartoon, I had to drop it down to 3. (Well, maybe 3 and a half...) Unnecessary changes to the Mystery Machine and the gang's wardrobe made it a bit distracting. And I'm probably being too picky on the next bit, but surely they could have found some people to do a little better version of the classic Scooby characters voices - at least in the case of Scooby and Shaggy. (Where's Matthew Lillard when you need him?)

If you think you can get past slightly different voices (well, actually, Fred's the same), a few wardrobe changes, and a mini-vanned version of the Mystery Machine, you may enjoy this movie immensely. It has just enough classic Scooby to be appealing, has a pretty cool "beefed-up" version of the original Scooby theme, good development of the actual mystery, and a genuinely surprising twist at the end.

Summary: Scooby Doo is OK too, with all aliens not dressed in Blue
Review: In this age of the Internet and Video Games, it seems cartoons lack the fun and energy they used to have. This is the case with this movie which has nothing to offer except low budget animation, music that comes from a bad MTV show, and a love story for Shaggy and Scooby that was written in because the writers had nothing better to do.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Good for little kids
Review: My son is 4 and this is his current "favorite movie ever"... He and I have watched it about a dozen times and it holds up well over repeated viewings. He gets a little distracted during Shaggy's love song, but it's short. And there are only a few mildly scary scenes, such as the aliens chasing Shaggy and Scooby. For the most part, there is nothing that will cause nightmares in young kids as long as they are already accustomed to the Scooby-Doo world of "bad guys wearing monster masks".
